The announcement was reportedly made by ABC News President, Kim Godwin during a morning editorial call on Monday. She called that relationship an “internal and external distraction.”

In conclusion, she said, “If you think there is something that management needs to know, you can always call HR or, as we’ve said, talk to a manager that you trust. If you think there is something that we need to know.”

According to sources, executives at the network knew of the impending news.
